are you penaltyless?

[DarkFlame145]

I was just wondering what teams think they have had 0 line breaking penalties. We went to the Finger Lakes Regionals and we think we did not have a single penalty for breaking a line or for anything else (outside of practice matches.....I rammed=P).

Well 326 only had one the whole weekend and is was for hitting while hurdling, but other than that we didn't have any other penaltys

[Daniel_LaFleur]

In 16 matches (10 qual and 6 elim) we had 1 penalty (<G22>).

Considering how many penalties were called at BAE, we did fairly well.

[Martijn]

not a single penalty for 1414 at peachtree (we think). we went through 10 qualification matches and 5 elimination matches. too bad we wont be attending any other events this year..

[Herodotus]

We have no penalties right now.

This may change when we go to our first regional, however.

[ShortBang]

Team 2199 had no penalties Friday or Saturday. We think we got one Thursday during a practice match, but it wasnt announced.

[Daniel Bathgate]

2144 had a single penalty over all qualifications and our quarterfinals at SVR. We had a bent wheel and could not control our robot during that one match, and hit the E-stop immediately after the penalty to avoid more.

[EricH]

1135 has no penalties over at least the last three seasons.

That may be because we haven't competed since Championship 2005 and have yet to compete this year.

[Grant Cox]

I've had 20 pushups from <G22> and 10 for going for the other alliance's ball.

We had the same wheel bending problems. We got a penalty right away because at the beginning of the match I pushed forwards, but it really went left, backwards over the line. I think That was the only penalty we've had at our 2 regionals. Were you guys using coolie doolie wheels, because thats what bent for us, so we replaced them for this weekend.

1379 has no penalties through the eliminations and quarterfinals at Peachtree. Our hybrid rammed the wall a few times, but fortunately damage to your own robot doesn't count. As a programmer, my team wasn't very happy with me after that match.
We're hoping for another penalty-free regional at Bayou this weekend, and hopefully the new hybrid code won't hurt anything.

[DotCom]

Hehe, we somehow managed to get only one penalty for two regionals. And it wasn't a G22...=]

Yes, we were! Those wheels were horrible! We replaced them with the AndyMark plastic omni wheels for our second regional and did not have a single problem at Davis.

And to continue the thread, we were penalty free at Davis... despite being the only robot to earn a yellow card at the regional. (High speed ramming in autonomous doesn't go over well with the refs. Our driver was much more careful than our programmer (me).)

We had the same problem at Chesapeake! Needless to say, that code was immediately scrapped and the old code reused.

Regarding penalties, I believe that 1629 had 2 at Chesapeake, but I don't know about Buckeye. 1 for entanglement and 1 for <G22>.

1246 Waterloo record:

We had one hurdler interference penalty but I'm sure the video will show we barely touched them. I think 188 happened to lose control of the track ball while we were going past, so the ref called it.

Zero R22 line penalties, the mechanum wheels let us strafe safely out of any tight spots.
